This Thursday, Fernando Meza, Chair of the Percussion program at the University of Minnesota, comes to Encuentro to share with us in a journey around the world through an instrument that lives in many cultures: the marimba. This instrument has a rich history and tradition in many countries, in and beyond Latin America, and, in some, it has even been declared as the national instrument.

Thank you to all who gave yesterday on Give to the Max day – we received $6,155 in donations through your generosity! Thank you also to those who continue to give today!

Unfortunately, Give to the Max's website crashed yesterday afternoon, bringing nonprofits around the state frustration and challenges during one of their most important fundraising opportunities of the year. We felt the impact, also.
